Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecology

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Biodiesel, Biodiesel production, Waste management, Pollutant and Transesterification. Her studies in Biodiesel integrate themes in fields like Soybean oil, Raw material, Pulp and paper industry and Animal fat. In the subject of general Waste management, her work in Biofuel is often linked to Carbon-neutral fuel, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Her Pollutant research integrates issues from Fluoranthene, Activated carbon, Adsorption, Environmental chemistry and Air pollution. Her work focuses on many connections between Activated carbon and other disciplines, such as Sulfur, that overlap with her field of interest in Aqueous two-phase system. Maria C.M. Alvim-Ferraz studied Pyrene and Particulates that intersect with Environmental engineering.

Her most cited work include:

  • Waste materials for activated carbon preparation and its use in aqueous-phase treatment: a review. (657 citations)
  • Recent developments on carbon capture and storage: An overview (455 citations)
  • Multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks based on principal components to predict ozone concentrations (349 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her main research concerns Air pollution, Environmental chemistry, Environmental engineering, Pollutant and Environmental health. Her research integrates issues of Particulates, Ozone, Air quality index and Aerosol in her study of Air pollution. Her study looks at the relationship between Environmental chemistry and fields such as Tobacco smoke, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Her study in Environmental engineering is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water, Waste management and Soil vapor extraction, Environmental remediation. Her Waste management research integrates issues from Raw material, Transesterification and Heavy metals. Her studies deal with areas such as Linear regression and Relative humidity as well as Pollutant.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Air pollution (21.09%)
  • Environmental chemistry (20.31%)
  • Environmental engineering (20.31%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Indoor air quality (11.72%)
  • Environmental health (14.84%)
  • Environmental protection (7.03%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of investigation include Indoor air quality, Environmental health, Environmental protection, Biofuel and Air pollution. Her Indoor air quality research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ventilation, Relative humidity, Environmental exposure and Air quality index. Her Environmental protection study frequently links to related topics such as Pollutant.

Maria C.M. Alvim-Ferraz combines subjects such as Particulates and Greenhouse gas with her study of Pollutant. To a larger extent, Maria C.M. Alvim-Ferraz studies Waste management with the aim of understanding Biofuel. In her research, Environmental engineering, NOx and Function is intimately related to Climate change, which falls under the overarching field of Air pollution.

Between 2014 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Photobioreactor design for microalgae production through computational fluid dynamics: A review (56 citations)
  • The activity-based methodology to assess ship emissions - A review (33 citations)
  • Towards sustainable microalgal biomass production by phycoremediation of a synthetic wastewater: A kinetic study (33 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecology

Her main research concerns Air pollution, Waste management, Climate change, Indoor air quality and Health risk assessment. Her studies in Air pollution integrate themes in fields like Transport engineering and Function. Her Waste management research incorporates elements of Biodiesel, Biodiesel production and Methanol.

Her research integrates issues of Soybean oil, Transesterification, Glycerol and Nuclear chemistry in her study of Biodiesel. Her research in Climate change intersects with topics in NOx and Environmental engineering. Her Indoor air quality research includes themes of Environmental health, Air quality index, Ventilation, Environmental chemistry and Ozone.
